“I have had the pleasure of working with Terry and Maum several times over the last 6 months and I am always blown away by the attention to detail Terry provides in all of his curriculum deliveries. He's able to take difficult/heavy topics and present them in ways which spark insightful dialogue, self-reflection and a genuine desire to learn more. Most importantly, he makes each person in the audience feel comfortable and seen. Additionally, he goes above and beyond to create an environment that is safe to ask questions and share concerns. I look forward to working with Terry more soon!”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you for this provocative, informative, powerful, and deeply personal talk today! I am moved and challenged by many of the things you shared today. I only wish we had budgeted more time for your talk! I appreciate your willingness to join our community today and I look forward to exploring the videos and links we didn’t get to today. My head’s still spinning…”

“I am lucky to have had the opportunity to partner with Dr. Park on a very important ERG event and topic. He was a key facilitator in helping our Asian American ERG, MOSAIC, host an event that was educational and extremely impactful. Not only did he make our employees feel seen and heard during a time when anti-Asian hate crime is increasing, but he also shared important historical information that helped our non-Asian employees understand why these conversations needs to be happen and how we can all be supportive to this community. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Dr. Park.”

“Dr. Park presented Race as a Social Construct during KYCC's Spring All Staff and it was excellent. He broke down difficult, painful and deeply imbedded ideologies in a way that told a story and allowed staff to think differently about race. It is evident that Dr. Park has spent years researching this topic and has developed an engaging way to develop his findings. I encourage others to book Dr. Park for small and large venues.”

“Terry Park gave a presentation on ‘Race as a Social Construct’ at my work’s staff development day last week. I have been a community activist for 30 years and his explanation on the topic was the best I have ever heard. Not only did he make it relatable and easy to understand, but he was able to connect the dots and show the LA Uprising in 1992 in a wider context of generations of institutional racism. He also gave inspiring examples of decades of Black and Asian solidarity. Afterwards, many of my coworkers also mentioned Dr. Park’s presentation being a highlight of the day. Highly recommend!”

“Terry brings incredible energy to his consultancy services in translating his extensive knowledge of Asian American history and experiences into his work with people and organizations who are looking to better understand and expand their support of and engagement with AAPI communities. His humor, empathy, and deep personal commitment to this work helped to facilitate a better understanding of the experiences of AAPI participants in Fulbright programs for our partners in East Asia and the Pacific…that felt personal and engaging through the lens of his own story.”

“Dr. Park was a very effective and talented speaker. I listened to his discussion on the ‘bamboo ceiling’ alongside 65 others and learned an exorbitant amount. Dr. Park formatted the talk with refreshing visuals and examples that were super easy to understand. I left the talk feeling empowered on what I can personally do to not reinforce the model minority myth and contribute to the Asian American community as a whole.”

“Engaging learning experience for a diverse group of biomedical scientists! Terry led us through an interactive and information-rich workshop, which connected the histories of the AAPI community with the current realities of the AAPI experience. Participants were able to relate their own experiences to [justice, equity, diversity, healing, and inclusion] values in order to expand their capacities for empathy and cross-cultural communication. We’ll look forward to hosting Maum Consulting in the future!”

“If you want to have a high-impact educative experience for your group on critical Asian American cultural and political matters, Terry is your go-to. Terry facilitated an excellent conversation on the award-winning film Minari for an AAPI Heritage Month campus event at our university. We deeply appreciated his expert knowledge-sharing methods and the way he held space for a roomful of people from different backgrounds. Thank you, Terry.”

“Dr. Terry Park delivered one of the most highly-praised and impactful talks for a campus-wide lecture at Indiana University East, titled ‘Techno-Orientalism: Yellow Perils, Asian Futures’…The lecture turned out to be the most well-attended virtual event that the campus has organized to date…Some of the responses from my own students involved: ‘I am upset that I was never taught this in school,’ ‘This was such an eye-opening lecture,’ ‘I wan to help make things better.’ From other faculty members, they sent me e-mails following the lecture, commenting on how impactful and educational the lecture was and that ‘we need to have more lectures like this.’ Dr. Park is a fabulous public speaker that is able to unpack the complex and layered histories and issues regarding the policies that then influenced the cultural history of centuries of implicit and explicit discrimination against Asian-Americans in a way that was gentle and empathetic. I highly would recommend Dr. Park for any future workshops or lectures.”
